The set commemorates the 40th anniversary of the broadcast of Metal Armor Dragonar and includes a newly molded Dragonar 1 along with the large optional part Cavalier 0, allowing fans to recreate the protagonist unit from the first half of the series. The figure stands about 170mm tall, or about 175mm with the Cavalier equipped, and uses ABS, PVC, and die-cast materials. The set includes a hybrid shield, two laser sword grips with a connector, two close combat blades, a hand rail gun with four spare magazines, two slow bombs, two anti-mobile armor grenades, two assault knives, the complete Cavalier 0 set, a dedicated stand, and five types of interchangeable wrist parts for each hand. The Cavalier 0 features multiple clear parts in the head disc section, two independently moving rail cannons, and a drum-type trunk room that can connect to the rear of the Dragonar 1 main body for stable posing. The figure includes hatch-opening gimmicks in various locations, a series original feature. The price is 29,700 yen including tax, with release scheduled for February 2027.","whyItMatters":"The inclusion of the fully newly molded Cavalier 0 as a complete set in this HI-METAL R release offers a single-package recreation of the protagonist's early loadout, a configuration not previously available in this line's scale.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRear thrusters:\u003c/strong\u003e the sections on Dragonar 1\u0026#39;s back can expand, and the included laser sword with a connected grip recreates close combat scenes from the series.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetachable weapons:\u003c/strong\u003e the shoulder anti-mobile armor grenades and arm slow bombs each detach and attach using the interchangeable wrist parts.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHand rail gun:\u003c/strong\u003e can be held with both hands, and reloading is depicted with the four spare magazines.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCavalier 0 head disc:\u003c/strong\u003e features multiple clear parts arranged in various colors.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRail cannons:\u003c/strong\u003e the two cannons supplement long-range bombardment capability and each move independently.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrum-type trunk room:\u003c/strong\u003e on the rear connects to the Dragonar 1 main body for stable posing when equipped.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRadome head:\u003c/strong\u003e has rotational movement and head pull-out movement; the front armor section has axis movement, allowing powerful display poses with the rail guns equipped.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLineage context:\u003c/strong\u003e the Inside article links a Metal Armor Dragonar Blu-ray BOX at 44,041 yen and a Good Smile Company BRICKROID Dragonar 1 (Opening ver.) \u0026amp; Aircraft Carrier Set with a Dragonar 1 at about 50mm total height.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCopyright credit:\u003c/strong\u003e the product is marked (C) Sunrise.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"HI-METAL R Dragonar 1 \u0026 Cavalier 0, for Metal Armor Dragonar's 40th, includes a fully newly molded Cavalier 0.
